Dion Pullan, owner of BK Valley Resort, sent me these documentary shots (taken with a pocket camera) of this raptor perched above his campground today. Is this an immature Barred Honeybuzzard or immature Philippine Hawk-Eagle? I have never seen one before. ID please?

I think the head and bill are too heavy set for a HoneyBuzzard, but more photos of eg the legs would be very helpful
